Kensington Park Road

Period proportions, a front-facing balcony and views down one of Notting Hill's finest streets. This one-bedroom apartment for sale on Kensington Park Road sits at the heart of the Ladbroke Estate.

Grand but understated, there’s a character to Kensington Park Road that’s calmer than the vibrant neighbourhood around it. Part of Thomas Allason’s Grade II-listed Ladbroke Estate, this terrace is defined by its stucco façade, arched sash windows and decorative ironwork balconies that sweep continuously across the building.

Positioned on the raised ground floor, the apartment is brightened by its volume and light. Ceiling heights rise to 3.1 metres in both the reception room and bedroom, amplifying the proportions and allowing daylight to move easily throughout. In the reception room, interiors feel calm and considered, with original detailing sitting alongside a more pared-back material palette. Set a few steps below, the kitchen is thoughtfully resolved. White lacquer cabinetry, dark grey worktops and a smoked-glass splashback keep the aesthetic restrained, while a garden-facing window draws in soft natural light.

The bedroom overlooks the terrace below, where French doors open directly onto the apartment’s front-facing balcony – a welcome vantage point above one of Notting Hill’s most recognisable streets. Bespoke curtains and blinds from Designers Guild and The Cloth Shop add texture throughout, while integrated wardrobes and discreet storage maintain the uncluttered feel.

Serving the apartment, the family bathroom has been recently refurbished with Italian terrazzo flooring and a generous bathtub with an overhead shower.
